[@kenethernandez6246]

This is actually an interesting question. Due to helldivers being a parody, most people don't take them too seriously, but they are actually not stupid. Typically, helldivers are deployed with specific mission objectives to complete along with the tools to complete them. They don't just land and wonder around. In this case, I think they would be sent to conduct one of their typical search and destroy missions on the ship, call in a hellbomb, and say goodbye to their problems there lmao. They wouldn't care about potential survivors on the ship since helldivers aren't exactly good guys, and the ministry of truth would just say they are liberating the galaxy of another threat. Then they would move on to the planet, and with their full kit at their disposal, it would be pretty smooth sailing.

[@shoulderpyro]

This is an interesting theory with one (potential) flaw: This assume the hellpods can bore through ship hulls with enough force to breach the outer hull, but not enough to tear through the entire ship. While they can definitely smash through weak-ish steel as shown by them blasting right through prefab buildings, the armour of a strider is enough to stop them. I'd reckon the outer hull of a ship is more reinforced than that of a land-based walking tank, so there'd be no getting a hellbomb inside. Okay, so maybe on the hull then? As far as we know, divers have no magboots and its unsure whether or not they have their own oxygen supply within their suit. All planets show the corpses of SEAF personnel, none of them are wearing pressure suits so its safe to assume all planets in HD2 have some sort of atmosphere with breathable oxygen. Especially the bug ones. But lets say, they actually use their brains for once and realise they cant drop-bomb the ship. So they take the Pelican to the hangar and offload it there. Activate it, and fly out. The ship now has a massive gaping hole in it, and shrapnel is sent in all directions - likely also tearing through Pelican-1 as it makes its escape, and into the destroyer as well. The Destroyers are NOT shielded, so shrapnel flung with the speed of a railcannon will likely pierce right through the glass on the bridge. Assuming both Pelican and Destroyer survive the ship blast, its not guaranteed the threat on the ship is gone. So they might blast it from orbit with their cannons. To then proceed to land on the planet proper, after which they'd likely get torn to shreds real fast. Necromorphs are not to be underestimated. You cant kill them. You can only dismember them to temporarily hamper their progress before the biomass reconstitutes their forms, or merges them into bigger threats. And like Tyranids, Necromorphs can and will adapt to the situation. Once the proto-hivemind realises regular slashers might not cut it, it will start producing forms specifically meant to tear through the armour. And even IF they can safely dispose of all the direct threats, they still arent safe from the Wheezers. Their infection spreads through the air, and is known in Dead Space to pass right through airfilters - making the helmets practically worthless. It may seem like the divers have this in the bag, but in the end itll be an overwhelming victory for the Brethren Moons

Helldivers do in fact care about civilians though.

One thing should be noted, that the Helldivers have strong ideological cohesion. This hardens their society against indoctrination. Because well, they're kinda already indoctrinated😅 Imo, the unitologist ideology is the #1 threat hampering the effective response against the necromorph threat. It's far more insidious than the transformation process and even direct marker influence. We see that the Dead Space universe _does_ have the tech readily available to deal with the necromorphs. But as we see with Ishimura, that only works if humans actually want to beat the necromorphs instead of joining them. In the Ishimura incident, the captain himself had an agenda to keep the marker aboard. Half the crew were unitologists worshiping the marker. As a result, response efforts were severely hampered by inside sabotage, until the infection completely overtook the ship.

The Moons if they get the chance will even manipulate the leadership of Super Earth directly once they are made known of them, they will manipulate them into making Markers and do what the moons want while the soldiers just blindly follow orders till the markers activate then they will farm humanity to make more moons, the Brethren Moons are super intelligent beings that play the long game.

Awesome video! But helldivers don't have "experience" or "training." It's more likely if a fireteam of Helldivers landed on the Ishimura it'd be their first mission ever. Also, Helldivers are actually pretty freakin' stupid, the Marker would easily fool them ASAP. If we ignore this part though, they'll still be pretty fine... also about the oxygen stuff- there's a planet in Helldivers 2 that is literally just a moon with no atmosphere; they have some form of recycler in their suits for Oxygen most likely.

[@HownBrash]

Also the destroyer would probably just take the safer route and blast the Ishimura with 500kg bombs lol

[@dragonwalkerdew]

To put out my own two cents here, by referencing the atmosphere of a few planets in HD2: There is a planet type where it's just a literal moon with accompanying meteor showers and lunar landscape, so I'd think that they have some sort of O2 pack put into their suits just for those situations. Plus, with the whole thing about Merida before it went singulo, that planet WAS putting out a butt-load of spores, so much it likely wasn't healthy just to breathe it in, so the O2 pack likely activated too there. However, due to the 40-minute time frame for each mission, that's likely also a little under the time of how long their O2 packs last in typical combat scenarios. After all, can't have traitors if they can't breathe.

Personally, I’d say that all helldivers could survive the vacuum of space and also have filtration systems in their helmets. Their helmets have vents on the bottom, which may signify they have the ability to filter oxygen or this is merely to help divers breathe easier in the helmet. However, I say they could have sealed helmets purely because they are troops that drop from low orbit. What would happen if there was a sudden loss of pressure in the hellpod drop sequence? Pilots wear oxygen masks incase cabin pressure is lost, so why wouldn’t helldivers have that too?

[@Sci-FiKai]

Ohhhh this is a good point 👀 Yeah it seems like they SHOULD have filtration and oxygen systems within their suits sense it makes the most sense I just didn’t want to say they definitively did without knowing for sure especially since I didn’t play HD1.

Again downplaying Dead Space, I'm not saying that it is intentional. The pulse rifle does shoot tiny rounds, 30 grain bullets, 3 at a time, at 63 a second, at mach 33.5, hitting with 128,536.8 joules of energy each, and that is all at base. It has similar performance to an A-10 Warthog only with way smaller bullets, higher velocity, and slightly lower fire rate. It is described as liquefying humans on contact, the bullets pancake on contact for 100% energy transfer, it has low caliber non armor piercing ammo because it would blow through starships if it didn't. Isaac's durability is also easily in the large building to town levels depending on the attack, out aide of armor he can take a comparable gun to a pulse rifle to the gut and was fine. Know that almost all of Isaac's weapons are hot, as in 6000 degrees Celsius or higher including his flamethrower so standard incendiary won't cut it.

[@culturallycarpthian4000]

Hard no and I think they still would have trouble against the necromorphs, because even with their powerful weapons there is no stopping the necromorphs from sending a massive horde to their location or coordinatingly ambushing them through vents and such. As well the entirety of the Ishimura fell within minutes from a slasher and an infector with all the weapons at their disposal. Another thing even though the pulse rifle wasn't the greatest weapon, but it could stun lock or precisely "kill" a garden variety slasher and somehow the valor with personnel that has one of the best armor in the game, got crushed by a single slasher that was stuck in an escape pod with a window to see the person inside. On top of that the marker doesn't have to rely on trauma to manipulate the divers in which they could use their patriotism/nationalism against them to make them overconfident or guilt them by making them think that they failed super earth. Another thing is that necromorphs can still live without oxygen, most of their limbs and head so even if the divers take out the arms of a slasher, it could just leap towards them and start biting/eating the divers like in dead space downfall. I have many MANY things that I can list about all facets and advantages of the Necromorphs. But overall, the helldivers are outmatched, stratagems/other possible advantages or not.

I think with the stratagem issue, there are certain sections that Isaac had to go through that were on the outside of the Ishimura, so they could start with stratagems, then be able to use them again in certain outdoors areas, lose access to them on the inside, and finally use them again when they’re on Aegis VII Plus with them having problems being outside, the divers’ suits do seem to be somewhat sealed and pressurised, since they have no problem running about on any planet they drop in on, no matter the atmosphere, so they must have some way of surviving harsh or even non-existent atmospheres of those planets

[@asmkalrizion7078]

I would argue with a good handful of these points, namely thqt there's no need to give the divers more of their ammo considering they can use their own weapons until they run out, then they can just pick up whatever weapons/tools are sitting around, same as Isaac. They likely wouldn't take the same path as Isaac unless they had an engineer with them, in which case they'd probably see the same result as Isaac splitting up with his team. There is when you'd need to consider whether the diver engineer would be able to survive on his own and the other 3 divers being ablr to survive without him. Which Isaac's team had a high level secret earth gov hacker with them, the divers probably wouldn't as they'd likely be working more like the earth gov marines, focusing on destroying the ship rather than repairing it. I could go on but don't want to make this comment huge

Do we mean the Ishimura or a full blown Helldivers like charge at a marker world?

Hilariously enough we actually know that super destroyers have spacesuits on board due to upgrade of the artillery system saying that the guns get upgraded to breach loading from the standard barrel loading and saving the crew the need to go on spacewalks to load the guns. So even if they aren't standard helldiver equipment we know that they have it and can give it to them if a need for space missions arises. Also there is a reson to suspect that helldivers helmets have at least filtration systems to some extent since even the open helmets have facemasks and they don't appear to be suffering any negative effects from inhaling terminid spores or smoke from granades.

Honestly…everyone’s talking about the fact that the Helldivers’ suits must be pressurized, seeing as they often fight on planets with an atmosphere that doesnt have oxygen, but nobody’s talking about the real issues here. In a typical Helldiver deployment, the average life expectancy of an individual Helldiver is less than 10 minutes, and that’s with all their strategems. Put them in Dead Space, even with their Super Destroyers, it’ll probably be the same, because the Super Destroyers would only be able to provide support to the Helldivers when they’re on the exterior of the Ishimura. After all, Hellpods can’t go through multiple layers of steel and composite. That means no resupply from the Super Destroyers, and no strategem support at all, for the vast majority of the time. Plus, they’re made out to be the special forces of Super Earth, but the tutorial of Helldivers 2, which is literally Helldiver boot camp, can be beaten in about 10 minutes with little effort. Compare this to special forces training irl, which takes roughly a year and a half in the US, and you realize that Helldivers actually recieve significantly less training than even conscripts typically do irl. Not to mention that Helldivers dont even have training on breaching/clearing buildings, which is something you wouldn’t think is relevant until you realize that the Ishimura is basically a giant building in space that can move. So…combine all of this, and you get a squad of 4 guys with an average 20-30 minutes of training combined, none of which involves fighting in structures like the Ishimura, with zero support from their ships in 99% of their encounters with the Necromorphs, plus the influence of the Marker, plus the fact that they’re fighting basically hivemind zombies (which is something Helldivers have never encountered before), and you pretty quickly get a result of 4 dead Helldivers. Like…I’d be surprised if even ONE of the four Helldivers sent in actually lives long enough to reach the food storage fight. Heck, I’d be surprised if more than one of them is alive at the point everyone realizes the Ishimura’s ADS system is broken, but…the ADS system being broken wouldn’t really matter, because there’s four fully armed warships (the Super Destroyers) basically directly adjacent to the Ishimura at all times.

This is literally eldritch undead gods vs a bunch of cannon fodder with orbital strikes. Should we mention dead space humanity straight up have mining ships that rip planets apart? The problem is that the divers are basically an infinite cheat code for the Necromorphs. Especially since the real reanimating signal is energy based that is unidentifiable even while it is blocked, which takes an entire marker to be sealed which even then isn’t safe. The helldivers would just instantly fall for the brethren moons would just use their own brainwashing against them. Even the basic slasher can cleave a poor helldiver in half with the armor piercing rounds just doing nothing to them. Shotguns can be effective but just temporarily For people forget dismemberment isn’t permadeath, the necromorph biomass just breaks down and reforms into a new necromorph hence why the bodies in the games despawn. Plus the brethren moons can just fly over to super earth and swat it out of existence since it’s clear the helldivers don’t have any planet busters. So uh, oof.

In regards to the concern about air filters or O2 tanks, the new Chemical Agents warbond shows that helldivers do in fact have some form of air filtration in their helmets. Though the quality may differ from armor to armor, with the armor granted by the Chemical Agents warbond having superior air filtration specifically designed for use with chemical weapons so a helldiver could basically bathe the area in mustard gas and whatever toxin they dream of and barely be affected. If anything, judging from the fact that you have 80% damage resistance to gas in that armor, it's likely that the protection level is actually near-complete if not complete protection from any airborne toxin, but staying in it may slowly asphyxiate the user due to no built-in oxygen tanks. If somehow, the Helldivers were given custom armor able to fight in Zero G to fight on spaceships, assuming the SEAF does not screw them over, it may be possible they could procure armor that can work around those hazards. But as of this time, no real solution to Zero G unfortunately, as we have not yet had a reason to fight in such atmospheres.

The Diver’s unique weapons might keep them alive for a bit, but the Sovereign Colonies sent a whole fleet full of sailors and soldiers with a good understanding of what was going on with appropriate weapons and they still all got munched on.
